Accruing funds from the bingo sessions have been invested back in the community centre. The bingo sessions were particularly important as a source of funding a number of years ago for the building of the new Bee Park Community Centre.
With a new phase of the Bee Park Community Centre building set to get under way shortly it is hoped that the weekly bingo sessions will once more be to the fore to defray some of its costs.
